I have this for almost 100 domains - works like a charm for me. You have something
setup wrong. By the way - we learned by exp to move the images off the imail server
to iis or another dedicated server to speed things up - but previously we had the
system as your describe it - well kinda - ours worked.

>> If the names are different or the relative path is different, the buttons

>>
>> The reverse condition works correctly. Connect to the customer web site,
